What should I do to keep my white gold ring 18K yellow gold become?
Two months after I bought the white gold ring, started to become yellow. I do not know why? You mean it is false? Will you be completely yellow over time?
No, means you need to polish it. Take it to a jewelry store or buy some rouge and a soft cloth and do it yourself. It's easy. You're probably using some kind of cleaner that is causing to turn yellow, because my wedding rings are white gold, 14 or 18, and are well. My husband usually polish up one or two times a year.
